Check out TeXmacs, which gives you the best of WYSIWYG word processors and TeX/LaTeX.

There is no good reason to compromise nowadays.

That would be for typesetting letters and invitation cards in latex? That's what WYSIWYG word processors/editors are good at.

It's great for math/science writing.

The only problem is that LaTeX is typically required for math/science publications.
